    D&D General I miss Mountain Dwarfs

    While I'm not necessarily a fan of adding more Elemental sub-species (because 5e24 already has a lot,) I think there may be a way to lean Dwarves into the WoTC vision in a different way: start from the perspective of Mag8c the Gathering's mana colors. •Dwarves tend to be associated with...

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    Being that I don't currently subscribe and (as of the time of this post) never have, I wouldn't say that I'm concerned about it. I do have real concerns though. Should I DM you the list of things that I find concerning in the world?

    D&D 5E (2014) Radically shrinking stat blocks

    I like it. I have my fair share of 4E criticisms, but one thing that the edition did well was present crunch in a clear and concise manner. With what you've done, you could fit most creatures on an index card.

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I didn't say it was "bad." (I also don't necessarily think capitalism is bad, but "capitalism" as some contemporary people use the word may be.) I was commenting on how it could be monetized. In such a hypothetical structure, you could choose what abilities you have in a game by participating...

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    (The following dramatization is based on an assumption that a large corporation wants to make more money.) Don't underestimate the power of FOMO. A team could also mix it with a little bit of guilt, crib some notes from televangelists, and BOOM Sales! "Hey, everybody! This Faux Jangles, and...

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I said in a thread (a couple months ago) that I could see them having a chance to get "special" minis. So, something like... Sure, everybody gets the basic red dragon mini. But were you one of the lucky ones to get Rotfeutanixn the Night Fire? Did you get the Höllexeidex mini from...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    That example does offer some psuedo-plausible-ish bread crumbs though. First, they are both highly trained combatants going against what are presented as rank-and-file conscripts. (Strong conscripts, but still not named or otherwise noteworthy foes) Second, they take advantage of the chaos of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rise of Tiamat with a mostly not-Good party - looking for hooks

    Well, being that "failing" the adventure means Tiamat begins her tyrannical rule over the world, I imagine that is undesirable for anyone serving someone else.

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    From the perspective of a gamer, that's cool. Depending on the price for the service and how difficult it is to import/create non-D&D assets, I might consider that. (I've never had a DDB account). From a business perspective that's also potentially smart. WoTC could take the role of platform...

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    The video mentions being able to bring things in from other games/properties (i.e. Optimus Prime). Any word on if there would be an option to use Sigil to play a game that doesn't use 5e (or D&D) rules? I'm also curious about what the options are for modifying the grid. Could I choose to use...

    Spoilers Alien: Romulus (Spoilers)

    I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's an okay film, but (as Morris already said) a few things feel forced and out of place. Also, there are times when people being too stupid took me out of it. There are a lot of cool ideas and scenes in the movie. Overall, it's enjoyable. But the...

    General DCC RPG thread

    That makes sense. For me, I'm less concerned about "balance" and more trying to figure out how challenges and creatures that I had been working on for other games translate into DCC. I don't yet have much experience knowing where the line between "this might be difficult" and "rocks fall...

    General DCC RPG thread

    What are some general guidelines some of you have used to know how difficult a challenge may be? I'm not looking for a CR system like what D&D has; I prefer things being a little looser. However, I am still new to DCC and don't yet have much experience knowing how to judge difficulty. When I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Weird invisibility loophole saves Hiding but ruins the spell: Lose the Condition's benefits without losing the Condition

    To me, Common Sense also would say that I wouldn't create a technical term for a rules manual and then also use the term in a potentially ambiguous way rather than just writing "natural language" (i.e. hidden, camouflage, etc) if I wanted my audience to use natural language interpretations of...

    General DCC RPG thread

    Thank you for the response. I asked about Kingmaker because of that particular adventure path's theme of carving something out of a rugged patch of land. The group for whom I DMed (Judged?) the DCC Rulebook Funnel approached things a lot differently than I expected. They wanted to save Old...

    General DCC RPG thread

    I only recently joined the band, but I am highly enjoying the experience. My usual home setting has different races than the typical Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling breakdown, so I'm still figuring out how to create some of my own stuff. A Few Questions: •Do any of you have expanded equipment...
